EFAILY Adjustable Portable Foldable Beach Anchor Outdoor Sunshade Stand Patio Umbrella Base Holder

Neede something for pool area, easy and strong to use. Recommend to anyone

This is a great for trips to the park, beach etc. Works well with small or large umbrellas.

I teach summer school and have to bring students out for recess. There is zero shade, and we are mostly standing on blacktop. Years ago, I bought an SPF beach umbrella and held onto it so it would stay up. I hadn't been able to find a stand that wasn't weighted (didn't want to carry it out for 25 minutes) or very expensive. I'm glad I found this one.It folds up, so it's easy to store and carry. My students often volunteer to carry it out. I will say, you definitely need both hands and ok grip to use it. You have to pull up on the leg to get it to unlock then fold it out and make sure it locks back into place. I have bad joints due to old injuries and did struggle a bit. I had a student hold onto the base while I pulled on the leg of the stand when one got a bit stuck.If you plan to use this on uneven ground or sand, I do not recommend it without some kind of a weight. It fell over in the grass immediately, or I had to hold it up. It worked great on a flat surface.

It arrived in very bad shape. The base was bent such that it wouldn't sit straight. One corner of the center piece looked like it had been run over. We attempted to use it anyway, but it was too flimsy to hold up the umbrella!

Excellent idea. Good support. I needed this to use on concrete & its a game changer
